• Maja Chwalińska: Ranked No. 114, she became only the second qualifier in the Open Era to reach a Grand Slam final. Her creative shot-making and resilience won over the Paris crowd, but she couldn’t sustain momentum against Andreeva’s power.
• Conditions: Windy weather on Court Philippe Chatrier added drama, but Andreeva adapted better, taking the ball early and dictating rallies.

The ladies’ final has wrapped up, and what a story it was: Mirra Andreeva, just 19, stormed to her first Grand Slam title with a straight‑sets win over qualifier Maja Chwalińska. Andreeva’s fearless hitting and composure under pressure made her the youngest French Open champion since Monica Seles in 1992, while Chwalińska’s fairytale run from the qualifying rounds to the final will be remembered for years.
